Here I am

Here I am

Here I am, once again, I’m torn into pieces. I can’t deny it, can’t pretend, I know You are the one. I can’t understand why You did what You did, and you died so I might live. I don’t deserve to know Your care, I don’t deserve to know your there. I am now full again, and I’ll stay in these wounded hands.

Here I am, at Calvary, giving You all of me. I know that You see, everything I used to be. My heart was ripped by those I lost, now it’s whole ‘cuz of Your cross. My heart can’t grip Your awesome grace that will get me to that place. I won’t ever stop this glorious praise, it will be on ‘till the end of days. When You stop my life on earth, I’ll finally be able to see your worth.

Here I am, on my knees, in front of You at Calvary. My face is bent down to the floor, and I love You all the more. You lift me up so I can know You drank that cup. You hold me now, so I will never fall back down. They may try and bring me down, but I’ll never turn back around. Nothing I may do, can change all that You’ve done, so I rely on You alone.

Here I am, boldly approaching, I come by a drop of blood once spilled. I remember Your Son and how he was killed. He drank Your wrath that I may not, He showed His love right in that spot. His eyes so full of pain and grace, told me I could go to his wondrous place. He said He would never leave me, and in His hand I would always be.

When I saw that ugly spear, I fell down and cried those tears. When I heard that one last cry, I realized that with You I would not die. When they laid You in the earth, it was like we just were born. Before You died, You said You’d rise, when You did, I saw your eyes. When I die, I’ll rise to you, and when I do, I’ll run to You. I’ll dance around Your holy place, looking at your Holy face.

So Here I am, thanking You, thank you for all you’ve done. I look at You, and your like the sun. I pray to you when I need light, and You’ll run to carry me to the light. You bend down and pick us up. So I thank You that you drank that cup. There You are, there you stand, standing by the Holy Lamb. Here I am.

Awestruck

My older sister Rachael wrote this a while ago. I really like it so...enjoy!!!


Awestruck
God of All, you stretched out your hand and formed the sea
You spoke single words, and there was light you said, “Let there be.”
God of All, from darkness you formed the light of day
Spread out the stars, gave them their light, called them by name
You made the sun and the moon, creation sings to you
From before time, you were the light, you were the way

God of All, in hatred we turned our backs away
We hardened our hearts, hid in the dark, hating the day
God of All, your plan was to save us from our sins
Jesus, you came, taking our shame, to free us again
Coming to die on the Cross, Jesus, you came to purchase us
You suffered and died, for us you bled and for us you cried

I ling e awestruck, amazed at what you’ve done
To fall down in worship when I think, “You sent your Son.”
I long to cry “Holy” when my mind reflects on what you do
I long to be awestruck and to stand amazed at you

And when my mind recounts your goodness
May I be awed at your grace
And when I gaze upon creation
May I behold your face
Through every moment, every hour
There’s nothing that I would rather do
Than stand here in praise, awestruck…

Lord I am awestruck, amazed at what you’ve done
I fall down in worship when I think, “You sent your Son.”
Here I cry “Holy” when my mind reflects on what you do
Lord, I am awestruck; and I stand amazed at you

Stars Don't Shoot Away

Skin so smooth and soft
Sunsets sing songs aloft
So strong and sure to me
Saving some serene sanity
So safely I’ll stay
So someday I’ll say
Surely stars don’t shoot away

In your arms forever

The night is finally over and gone. I once thought this night would last for so long. I used be stuck in the night, until you brought me to the light. I feel the sunlight on my face. Only you have brought me through this place.

I’m so glad you’re in my life. You gave me hope I never hoped for.
You gave me a reason to live. I’m thankful for everything you give. These thoughts of you and how you changed my life, they consume me. Without you, where would I be?

I love you; my heart is yours, only yours. I long to give you all of me, all of me, my everything. I know I could never repay you, you gave everything to me. Without you where would I be?

You loved me, even when I pushed you away. You ran after me, and brought me back to the day. So this time I’ll stay with you, and this time, I can make it through.

Even if people leave me alone, I look to you and I feel hope again.
Sometimes I get too distracted, letting this world push you farther away.
I won’t ever feel empty again, so come and take me away. Sweep me off my feet, set me on your knee, please come and take me away.

I love you; my heart is yours, only yours. I long to give you all of me, all of me, my everything. I know I could never repay you, you gave everything to me. Without you where would I be?

So I’m staying here forever, in your arms forever. So I’ll trust in you, in your love forever. I can’t wait to get to your place, to look in your eyes, face to face. I will love you forever, praise you forever. Thank you for loving me.

What if life was fair?

My heart seems to rip as I think about all of those I have lost
My soul seems to sink as I think about the cost
Of having close friends, of having people I love
All of the sudden they're gone and all I can ask is why, the answer is ''cuz'
My heart cries out... but no tears stain my face
I look around...the only place to find comfort is in God's grace

The pain is still fresh... the memory still so vivid
Everything seems so far away and livid
The hurt doesn't stop and it doesn't go away
It seems to increase day by day
A memory here and memory there
Life isn't fair!

Then I think... if life wasn't fair where would I be?
If life wasn't fair what could happen to me?
I deserve only one thing and that's I deserve hell
I deserve to be sent away where only pain dwells
And what do I have now to look forward to?
I have been given the promise of etenity with all that is true

You love me though I’m nothing

Why are you still here by me? Don’t you remember what I did? I want to hide myself from you, but it’s here that I realize it, I don’t deserve you. You love me though I am nothing, you see me as a jewel. You make me feel so special again.

But you still love me, you don’t send me away. I won’t push you away, anymore. So I’ll stop trying to act, like I can do it on my own. I’ll be all I can be, and I’ll try to keep you in the center of my life. I did things that I knew that were wrong.

You show me that life’s worth living, and I should live while I can. So though I’m less than nothing, you are so giving. You made me all that I am; you made me an heir of your glorious Lamb. You’ve swept me away, from were I lay in my sin.
I used to think I could do it on my own, and I saw I haven’t grown. You showed me just what I am, that I’m like a grain of sand. You brought me into the light, out from the night. My life’s been full of traps and snares, and now I turn to you who cares.
So if the world falls all around me, I’ll turn to you who is faithful, and you who is strong. When I feel like there is no where I can go, I’ll run to you who will hold me. I once thought I was on my own, but now I know you’ve been there all along.
So now you have my heart, and you’ve loved me from the very start. So you’ll lead me through this place, to look upon your face. You’ll keep me warm in this cold; you’ll love me ‘till I’m old. You’ll keep me ‘till the day I die, and I look into your eyes.
I am yours and you are mine, until the end of time. I pray I will be a light, and lead many from the night. Help me to grow toward you still more, for you’re the one I’m living for. Thank you for loving me first, I know I am the very worst. I love you.

Love That Never Ends

There is a love that never ends
A love that has always been
From the beginning of days
And throughout eternity’s reign
A love that gives me hope in trials
A love that gives me strength for extra miles
This love given away to me
This love that is absolutely free
A love that over flows in my soul
I could not resist its irresistible pull
My feet will stand firm in pain
And I will run to spread the news of my gain
For what I recieved, so can you
And I would rather have more hear of it then few
For everyone is called
For Christ died for us all
So let me tell you of this love that never ends
Of this love that always will be and has always been
